Without stepping foot into the clinical environment, students may not be able to visualise the variety of clinical areas that they may later encounter.
This digital learning experience aims to demystify such environments and ease student’s transition into their clinical placements.
Specific procedural and logistical knowledge will be gained by thinking about the patient journey as a whole, rather than discrete patient encounters.
Patient Journey is a digital learning resource that promotes active learning and the application of knowledge.
